Dolly Parton to Honor Nashville Airport | Phoenix News

Nashville’s airport is getting a star-studded makeover—officially renaming to Dolly Parton International Airport, honoring the legendary icon who passed at 80. Governor Bill Lee hailed the move as fitting tribute for Tennessee’s beloved daughter, sparked by a massive fan petition with over 150,000 signatures. Beyond her timeless hits like “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You,” Dolly was a Hollywood powerhouse and global philanthropist whose impact spanned generations. She founded the Dollywood Foundation to fight dropout rates, rebuilt wildfire-ravaged communities in the Smokies, created a bald eagle sanctuary, awarded college scholarships, and famously donated $1 million to COVID-19 research that helped develop the Moderna vaccine. Her Imagination Library gifted over 200 million books to kids worldwide—proof that Dolly’s legacy isn’t just music, but real, lasting change.
